France's BPCE launched crypto trading for retail customer
Groupe BPCE, France's second-largest banking group, began offering cryptocurrency trading services to retail customers this week, marking one of the most substantial moves toward mainstream digital asset adoption by a major European financial institution.Starting December 8, approximately 2 million customers at four of BPCE's 29 regional banks gained direct access to purchase, sell, and hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and the stablecoin USDC through their existing banking applications. The service operates through Hexarq, BPCE's digital asset subsidiary, which secured authorization from France's financial regulator, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, in December 2024.
